This is the time of year when we reflect on all the ways that St. George's Church has added to the richness of our lives. During the season in which we consider how and why we pledge, various parishioners often give witness to the parish during the Sunday services.
Needless to say, not everyone is comfortable in speaking to the entire congregation, but everyone DOES have a 'stewardship story' if you will. Your words may be much more inspiring to others than you may ever realize! In addition to our traditional witnessing, The Stewardship Committee is embarking on a fundamentally new and different approach to witnessing...for those who are willing to do so, please share your thoughts and personal experiences with stewardship... the giving of time, talent and treasure.
Here are some questions to get you started:
“Was there a time when it was particularly difficult, and yet, it was rewarding?”
“What questions might you have about stewardship?”
"How is your understanding of God reflected in your stewardship decisions?"
So please give some thought about your stewardship journey... and respond to Chris West or Sharon McSorley (links to emails at right) with your story.
Acts 20:35b: "The Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "The Stewardship Committee:
